MemberCompsognathusJun-04-2015 2:30 PMWell we know that hte Indominus is genetically and physically superier, and would most likely kill Rexie; but how badly hurt do you think the Throne Crasher would be in the fight? I mean, it's still fighting a T. Rex; they're not exactly pillow fighting.
Those are very good points, but I still stand by my belief, also one thing I have to take away from lots of people is that, Rexy has no experience...
The scuffle with the raptors lasted mere seconds, that was less than what the ACU could do + the helicopter and raptor squad. My biggest point is, she had no predators to compete with for her time on Nublar, none. Unless you count those eggs as raptors (I do) but they would usually not challenge a Rex so, she doesn't have experience like people think. Also they say JW has been open for 10 years, so that means 10 years of alone captivity. Also the I-Rexes legs would be just as, if not more powerful than the T-Rex.
But still good points, I hope we can talk more!
@JPCerato
There are actually plenty of competitive carnivores than Velociraptor that were agianst Rexy. Baryonyx, Herrerasaur, Metriancanthosaurus, and grown Dilophosaurs.

Not to mention Rexy could've hunted things like Triceratops and Stegosaurus for food.
Be yourself, for everyone else is taken.
JPCERATO = Indeed! we are not entirely sure if there were no other huge predators on nublar, this is really quite a funny coincidence, of all people it is you who replied. :)
heres what i was thinking when i made the post, remember JP3? no one could have predicted that we would see a Ceratosaurus in Isla Sorna, :D so i just thought for myself, maybe there are other huge predators that we just dont know are in the islands,
for example in JW they have the sucho and the bary also praise-worthy creatures, :)
So Isla Nublar might have other super predators "hanging around". all i know for sure is that Isla Nublar should have a Metriacanthosaurus although not as powerful and fearsome as the i-rex, but 2 or 3 of these predators would be a big challenge for the t-rex.
Also, rexy should've had experience from his years of hunting, after all there are also some difficult prey like Triceratops, ankylosaurus. :)
In conclusion, Rexy should've tasted a lot of pain which would probably make her more enduring while the I-rex because of its superior intellect might quickly learn that she is above all the dinosaurs she have met so far, but might be shocked to find something that could equal her. :)
@Tyrannowright
I highly doubt a Herrerasur, or even a pack would be competiton for a Rex if the Big One and her pal were killed in seconds, remember she killed 5 other raptors.
I don't think Baryonyx was on Nublar, it wasn't mentioned, that would be a bit more than a raptor...that is like the JP/// ceratosaurus trying to take down Rexy....
Dilophosaurus and Metricanthosaurus were definatey there...(seen/on Nedry's DNA steal)
Dilophosaurus I still cant see that as a threat or even a Metricanthosaurus....I think most these guys would run at first site, bloody that Ceratosaurus ran at the scent of spino droppings I think to see the real deal is a bit more.
But yeah, the Herrerasaurus was in the game and was small, the Baryonyx may have not been on the Island, there were 15 species, that was never mentioned to be one, I do think they were on Sorna though, thats why Billy thought it was one before they found out the spino wasn't on INGEN's list.
I am not saying she is a scavenger though.
@BATTRA
That is very true, but I think hunting and fighting are easily two different things, if we are to say hunting, well the I-Rex has a camouflage, took down Hamada and the ACU squad while hunting, killed 5-6 apatosaurs so...
Remember this is coming from a fan of Rexy and T-Rex...
Oh and also if the I-Rex is that smart...it could easily plan/lpot ahead/ know boundries and adapt quicker..
She was bloody smart enough to trick our pals into her cage, cut her tracking becon off and know wehn to use her abilities as well as get the Pteranodons to take down the chopper...
"She is a highly intelligent animal...she will kill anything that moves..."
Here she is next to Owen, who is like 10 meters in front of her close to the camera so he looks larger...
Now that I look at it, this thing dwarfs the Rex!
Thats flipping huge!
I keep thinking this is an animatronic, its huge!
This isn't exactly scale...
JPcerato: what the? Where the F did you get that close up pic of I-rex in crouched attack mode??? thats wicked! :D
UPDATE: your point regarding the Ceratosaurus was pretty good!
Thanks! I found the *F*ing thing one the internet ;) LOL Yeah I found it a while ago, Its sick, it has the bloody jaws!
And yeah, thanks, It takes me great courage and pain to say that about my favourite dino...
JPCERATO:
id like to discuss something regarding that indominus rex picture, can you start a discussion for it? like a new thread. :D
